SAMPLE CARD.

Application filed January 22, 1925. Serial No. 4,118.

This invention relates to sample cards and has for an object to provide an improved construction wherein the card is adapted to receive sample carrying slips, the arrange- 6 ment being such that the slips may be adjusted to different positions.

Another object is to provide a card which may be arranged as a single sheet in book form on a series of folds with removable sample carrying slips adjustably positioned on each card fold or leaf.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a sample card in which carrying sample slips may be arranged vertically or horizontally and also large or small slips may be used without changing the construe tion of the card.

In the accompanying drawing-- Figure l is a plan view of a card disclosin certain features of the invention.

Figure 2 is a view of the card shown in Figure 1 with a plurality of sample carrying slips mounted thereon, said card and slips disclosing an embodiment of the invention.

Figure 3 is a plan view of one of the samples and sample carrying slips shown in Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a sectional view through Figure 2, approximately on line 44l.

Figure 5 is a sectional view through Figure 3, on line 55.

Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, 1 indicates a card which may be cardboard, paper or any desired material, said card being provided with a number of apertures arranged in a specified manner as particularly shown in Figure 1. In this figure it will be seen that right angled triangular openings 2 are provided arranged 4.0 in vertical and. horizontal rows. The openings are arranged with their right angled sides parallel with the sides and ends of the cards and their inclined sides facing inwardly. As shown particularly in Figure 1, there is provided two groups, namely, groups 3 and 4:, each group presenting a square out line whereby various sample carrying slips 6 may be arranged for instance, in the group 3 and sample carrying slips 6 arranged in group 4 but extending at right angles to those in group 3. If preferred, one or more long slips 7 could be used and extend for substantially the full length of the card. It will also be noted that the openings 2 at the corner of each group are arranged so that the sides 8 thereof will face inwardly while the various inner openings 2 will have their sides 8 facing each other whereby there will be a right angle wall to receive the respective tongues 9 and 10 of the slip 6 when arranged in either of the positions shown in Figure 2.

Each of the sample carrying slips 6 is made from paper or other desired material and is provided with a body 11 of the desired width over which the sample 12 is fitted and held in place by adhesive or by other means. The body 11 merges at one end into the tongue 10 while at the other end merges into an enlargement 13 adapted to receive a legend 14- and said enlargement merges into the tongue 9. The tongues of the slips are of a width equal to a right-angle side of the openings, so that when the tongues are in the openings, whether the strips be disposed vertically or horizontally, one edge of each tongue will engage an acute angle of the opening and the tongues held in the openings.

In the accompanying drawing, three vertical rows of openings 2 have been shownbut it is evident that a greater or even less number of rows might be used without departing from the spirit of the invention and the slips 6 made of a corresponding size so as to function in the same manner.

What I claim is:

A sample card having vertical and horizontal rows of right'angled triangular open ings arranged in two groups, one above the other, and each group presenting a square outline, the openings of each group being arranged with their right-angled sides parallel with the sides and ends of the card and their inclined sides facing inwardly, in combination with a plurality of sample carry-' ing strips having at their ends tongues for engaging the openings when disposed vertically or horizontally, the tongues being of a width equal to a right-angled side of the openings and one of the tongues of each slip having an enlargement at its juncture with the slip for hearing a legend.
